Sleeping at the church was great and it was right by a burger king, so we went to our first non subway fast food meal for some deep fried french toast sticks. Worth it.
The hike up and out was fantastic, on well maintained trail that though steep, seemed to just flow. Becca said it made her feel like a zenlike Tai Chi master.
The trail on top was perfect. Beautiful forest, winding all over, and rolling terrain. At least for a while. Soon we were on a rock ridgeline going up and down steep steps that kill our knees. At least its not the ankle turning feet bruising rocks of PA.
Upon the rocky ridgeline, we crossed into NY! And as with PA and NJ, the first NY water source we were counting on was shitty, in fact, it was dry.
At the end of the day we ran into an awesome trail magic stash, 4 Coolers stocked with ice cold sodas. Then, just 0.2 down the road, we went to another awesome ice creamery. A perfect end to a challenging and beautiful day.
